I first met Petra through work a couple of years ago. She was always a positive personality and I really enjoyed our conversations when she came to visit Auckland. She was also fantastic at what she did and in my opinion lifted the game in our industry in her arena. We were all shocked to hear the news of her passing and I am saddened that she is gone so soon.
My deepest sympathies to Petra´s family and friends. She will be missed.

So sorry for the loss of Petra, such a kind and dedicated mum to her gorgeous children. Much love to the family

To Keith and Children, Vicki & Peter, Marilyn and Jim, I am so sorry very to hear of the loss of your gorgeous Petra.

Many years ago at Ramanui School, Petra was in one of the first classes I ever taught. I remember her as such a kind and friendly person who was fun to be around. We connected off and on over the years and thanks to Facebook I loved seeing her family grow and her cherish her role as a wife and mum. To all the people who love her as a mum, daughter, friend, sister, colleague and more I am so sorry to hear this news and send love in this tragic time. xx Rest peacefully Petra.

Ka aroha to Petra´s whanau. I worked with her more than a decade ago in Hawera and remember her absolute passion and dedication to her job as a reporter and a mother. Such a sad loss to everyone who knew her. Moe mai ra.

To Keith, Caleb, Emma and Ethan, and to Peter & Vicki, Marilyn & Jim - there are no words that can take away the pain you are feeling. When I heard the news on Sunday, I was completely shell-shocked, and I still can´t quite believe it.

Petra, you were one of a kind. I still remember when our friendship first began, and I feel so honoured to have shared those moments with you. You leave behind a massive hole - not only in your beautiful family, but in the hearts of your friends and the wider community. You will be missed more than words can ever express, and I know I´m going to miss our random conversations. God Speed my friend!!!

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. May the memory of Petra help you navigate through this . My heart goes out to you all.
